What is a Galvanised Shed?
Your Garden Tool Shed Buying Guide
Hosting in general is an incredible experience, but entertaining outdoors in winter adds an entirely new element. Alfresco dining doesn’t have to stop when summer ends; everyone can cosy up around the fire as laughter fills the winter air. In this blog, we provide the ultimate guide to outdoor entertaining in winter so you can continue creating long-lasting memories, even in the cold.
Bring the inside outside with a pergola
When winter arrives, so does the unpredictable weather. From snowfall to rainy days, a pergola creates the perfect protection for outdoor entertaining in your garden. By investing in a pergola, you’re creating the opportunity to make your outdoor space extremely versatile. Aluminium pergolas, with roof louvres and blinds, can create a fully enclosed space, adding privacy and some much-needed protection from the weather.
Add atmospheric lighting
With shorter days becoming more common in winter, the addition of outdoor lighting is critical. Different coloured lighting creates different types of atmospheres, so it’s important to understand the mood you want to create. Warm lighting produces a soft cosy experience, icy lighting creates a cooler effect, and coloured lighting brings a fun, ambient feel.
Invest in all-weather furniture
Comfort is key when you’re entertaining outdoors in winter. So, create a cosy area under the pergola with an outdoor sofa set and add any cushions and blankets to make your guests more comfortable. All-weather furniture is a great choice because it is extremely durable all-year round, offers low maintenance, and is an extremely stylish addition.
Create a focal point with a fire pit
When outdoor entertaining in winter, it’s super important to keep all your guests warm and relaxed, and the best way to do that is with a gas-powered fire pit. They are easy to control and quick to heat up, ensuring your guests aren’t left cold for long. This will create an incredible focal point in your garden and produce an intimate atmosphere for your guests.
Make sure everyone’s drink is topped up
Whatever season you’re entertaining in, always make sure to keep your guests drinks full. Warm cups of tea or mulled wine are perfectly enjoyed on a cooler day, ensuring you can still enjoy your outdoor space in the winter. Outdoor entertaining is a great excuse to gather friends and family together, and it’s incredible to be able to do this in any weather with these all-season additions.
